Is possible, technically and legally, to have two concurrent license servers? Each one having different license files , of course.
Just evaluating to merge two render farms
Technically speaking,
- Each Worker can have its own different Licensing host name and port settings.
- Groups of Workers could be configured to connect to a different license server via Auto Configuration rule sets.
- Multiple FlexLM license servers could be listed in the license settings. I believe that the first one found will be used, but FlexLM can be weird, so I could be wrong.
Legally speaking, if the licenses are owned by the same company, there should not be a problem. The other case is where one company acquires the assets of another company. In both cases you could also ask our Sales team to merge the licenses into a single license file, and just have one license server if it makes it more comfortable for you.
